Article Synopsis
- - Hamman's syndrome is a rare complication of diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA) that causes subcutaneous emphysema and spontaneous pneumomediastinum, as demonstrated in a case involving an 11-year-old boy with newly diagnosed type 1 diabetes.
- - The patient showed classic DKA symptoms like excessive thirst, frequent urination, abdominal pain, and fatigue and was initially treated with IV fluids and insulin before being transferred to a specialized children's hospital.
- - Upon examination, he showed signs of Hamman's syndrome, which was resolved with conservative treatment, emphasizing the need for awareness of this condition in pediatric DKA cases to ensure proper diagnosis and management.
